Town of FlowersA really good and exciting read! An attractive cast of characters that one wishes to know. The mystery certainly has an unexpected resolution. Well-written and certainly makes one wish to continue reading the entire series.

I'm glad I decided to continue this series as I was not too happy when Maggie told Scott to move along even though she still loved him and he her. This book brings them back together as Scott's mom dies of cancer and he needs Maggie to lean on. There is also a murder to solve Someone hit a man in the middle of Rose Hill in the middle of the night and left him to die. Scott works to oncover the killer while Claire comes back to town to see how life might be after her big time working for a Hollyw [...]

Great series. The personal stories of Rose Hill residents took precedence over the murder that began the story. We got to meet Claire, the other Fitzpatrick cousin who has been working for an egotistical Hollywood star for 20 years but decides to quit and return home. Maggie, Hannah and Scott played their parts. One main difference with the prior books is this one takes place 3 years later. That's a relief since the town had more than its share of murders in a short period of time! On to the nex [...]

Book 4 of the Rose Hill series starts 3 years after book 3, and introduces a new character as Claire returns to town after 20 years working for a Hollywood star. At first she has a hard time getting back into the rhythm of small town life, but by the end she has decided to stay. The murder victim in this one is a friend of hers from her Hollywood life who came to town to see her, but is run over in the night before he connects up with her. It´s another fun trip to Rose Hill with its eccentric c [...]

Three and a half starsThis book wasn't as depressing as the last one in the series, thankfully. It had some dark moments, but also had some of the earlier books' levity to balance it out. The last paragraph in Chapter Ten was especially hilarious to me!This fourth instalment skipped three years in the lives of the characters, which was a little hard to follow at first, but with new characters and plotlines, the series continues to entertain.

GoodbutSo, I expected this to be a direct continuation of the story from the first books in the series and it isn't. Still good, and the same characters are in the story, they just aren't the main characters as they were in the first 3 books.

Light reading.It was hard to keep up with all the characters in this small town. They have many tangled relationships, but they are always ready to help and support each other. Dealing with their sick parents, and who was the hit and run driver. Enjoyed reading.

Wonderful readThere's a little bit of everything in this book. The author weaves a little intrigue, love, memories of going back home again into a wonderful story about family. The love of parents, cousins and the community is very strong. Excellent read.

Great book, Claire is my favorite character in the Rose Hill series.Well written and enjoyable to read.My favorite character is Claire. Lot of strong characters. Good mysteries.Looking forward to the next book.
